Bath re-enamelling in Kingston Vale, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Landlord and trade work in Kingston Vale

For anyone letting property in or around Kingston Vale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Kingston Vale

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Kingston Vale?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Kingston Vale

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
